Space is often a limiting factor in industrial and laboratory systems.
1U programmable DC power supplies enable high device density in standard 19″ racks and support modular, scalable system architectures.
This article provides a structured overview of technical characteristics, application areas, and key selection criteria for 1U power supplies in industrial and test environments.

Electrical safety testing and EMC compliance are essential elements of modern medical device development. International standards such as IEC 60601 define clear requirements for patient and operator safety as well as basic performance.
By implementing structured testing processes, suitable safety testers, and traceable documentation, manufacturers can reduce regulatory risk and support long-term market access.

The TPS100–320W Peak DR+ series is a DIN-rail power supply platform designed for industrial environments that demand efficiency, flexibility, and predictable behavior under peak loads.

With efficiency of up to 93%, a 170% power boost for 10 seconds, wide AC/DC input ranges, and fanless convection cooling, the series supports reliable operation in compact control cabinets. Adjustable output variants (12–15 VDC and 24–28 VDC) and integrated protection functions make the platform suitable for industrial automation, LED systems, and telecom/IT infrastructure.

Performance data, protection behavior, and approvals are defined on a model-specific basis according to the datasheet, ensuring transparent and engineering-grade system design.

Key Takeaways High-stakes sales in testing, certification, and manufacturing are driven by two core expectations: technical reliability and predictable market access. This article outlines a structured sales narrative—how to frame element testing services for executive stakeholders, how to translate elements material technology into business value, and how to support customer decisions related to compliance and… Read More »

Selecting the right AC-DC power supply is a key engineering decision that directly impacts system reliability, thermal performance, safety compliance, and long-term operating costs. While open-frame and enclosed power supplies serve the same fundamental purpose, their architectural differences make them suitable for very different application environments.

This article provides an application-driven comparison of open-frame and enclosed AC-DC power supplies, focusing on thermal concepts, mechanical protection, safety standards, and real-world use cases across industrial automation, lighting, medical technology, and communication systems.

TPS Elektronik supported a renewable energy customer in modernizing an existing power conversion unit. The project focused on an efficient buck-boost converter design, an integrated circuit protection concept, and software-based protection mechanisms. The scope included circuit design, calculations, PCB layout, testing, and system validation under defined operating conditions.

The TPS030–130W Pro Series is a scalable DIN rail power supply platform delivering reliable 24 V DC output from 30 W to 130 W. Designed for industrial and building automation, LED lighting, and selected medical applications at system level, the series combines wide-range AC/DC input capability, convection-cooled operation, and IP30 double insulation. With EN 61347-2-13 certification and documented CE conformity, it supports standardized power concepts in modern control cabinets worldwide.

Key Takeaways Electrical safety and EMC compliance are closely linked aspects of product approval. Whether developing patient monitors, laboratory analyzers, or industrial control equipment, both must be addressed together. This guide explains how an EMC laboratory approaches electrical safety testing, which equipment is typically used, how medical device requirements differ from general industry practice, and… Read More »

ESD trolleys play a key role in modern electronics manufacturing and service environments.
By providing mobile, grounded work surfaces, they support the safe handling and transport of electrostatic-sensitive components within an ESD Protected Area (EPA).

This guide explains how ESD trolleys are constructed, where they are typically used, and which criteria matter when selecting a suitable model for assembly, service, or internal logistics.
